Owner Uses Output of Scraps from Two Batcher Shops to Feed Pets. Far from the maddening fear* and terrors of vivisection there dwells in Grand street a century coterie of cats, at No. 460. known as "the House of a hundred cats and nine hundred lives." In reality there are more than one hundred cats under the same roof and living under the gentle protection of Mrs. Augusta Swiss, but her husband says he likes to make a conservative estimate and jest "lamps the total off in roand figures." It Is not an uncommon sight to see Mrs. Swiss going to market with two score or more of the felines at her heels, and she really enjoys the distinction of being styled the Pied Plperess of catdom. For 10 years she has taken the entire ontpat of scrap meat from two batchers near her home, and this she always cooks before it is served to the cats. When a reporter called at the Swiss home and was shown in through the three rooms the cats seemed to be omnipresent They occupied the best chairs in the parlor, were on top of the piano, on tables, aronnd the steam radiators and everywhere. Other occupants in*the tenement ?one of the most pretentious in Bast Brand street?are not so fond of the facetious felines as is Mrs. Swiss, and some of them hare made a gentle protest from time to time. It is the Grand street concert work of the midnight singers that the greatest complaint is raised against. They hare amateur night every Friday night, bnt the old guard give nightly musicals under the guidance and protection of their patroness. They pay no heed to "cat calls" or bricks playfully hurled at them off neighboring eaves.?New York Herald. An old negro wanted to join a fashionable city church, and the minister. knowing it was hardly the thing to do and not wanting to hurt his feelings, told him to go home and pray over it. In a few days the negro same back. "Well, what do you think of it by this time?" asked the preacher. "Well, eah," replied the colored man, "Ah prayed and' de good Lawd, he says to me, 'Rastus, Ah wouldn't bodder mah haid about dat no mo.'

Bec??N He Refused to Let a Divorcee Slag la the Choir. Adherence to his determination not to permit divorced persons to sing in the choir of the large and fashionable First Baptist church at Padncha, Ky., where he is pastor, won for Dr. M. E. Dodd. a severe beating on the streets Monday. Chas. Graham, a prominent tobacco grower, was his assailant During a recent revival Dr. Dodd called for volunteers to sing In the choir. Mrs. Graham, who was divorced before she married her present husband, sent in her name. Dr. Dodd informed her that according to his interpretation of the Scriptures, she was not spiritually divorced from her first husband and therefore he could not permit her to sing. Graham met the minster on the street and the attack followed. Dodd had a Bible and other books under his arm and offered no resistance. Tne pastor lined his pulpit though his face showed the marks of the encounter. Till man Won't Go Abroad. Washington, March 9.?Several weeks ago a story was sent ont of 1 Washington to the effect that Senator E. R. Tillman would be taken to < Europe this summer, that he was to be taken first to a sanitarium, and so forth. The story is revived to-day. There is nothing to it now, as there a as not before. Mrs. Tillman stated to-day that no plans whatever have been made except to take the Senator home to Trenton as soon as he is able to travel. How long this will be can not be told. The Senator is progressing, but very slowly. He talks & little and can stand on his feet, but the use of his right leg does not come back to him very rapidly, and he is not trusted to walk. Likewise they do not encourage him to talk. There has been some talk of going to Europe, but it is only talk. It would be the natural thing to do in order to get the Senator completely away during tne coming political contests. bnt no plans have been made, nor would be for several months. As Mrs. Tillman says. "Before we consider his going anywhere, we want first to get him on his feet" People who want to be miserable do not have to hunt far for a reason. \ : ...

Just three months to spend 990.* 000 and get himself expelled from Columbia university. He was carried to Kansas City Tuesday to answer to the charge of forgery. Hlller was arrested leaving the workhouse in 8L Louis, where he had served six months on a similar charge. The small fortune was Ivft Hlller by his grandfather. About a year ago he induced his guardian to put the money in the bank to his credit. I Then the gay life and the wild ride? In motor cars began in New York city, and Prank was expelled from Columbia. He had no trouble in making the acquaintance of pretty women, who were not at all timid about the else of the wine bills young Hiller was paying. His money gone he was driven to commit forgery. "If it takes experience to bring a wild young fellow to his senses. I have had mine," Hiller said Wednesday. "After spending money freely for three months I found it hard to quit so suddenly. Without money or friends, or any way to earn a living, 1 forged two checks. I'm ashamed of it, but I'm willing to pay the penalty." Fertiliser XaxTrows Steadily.

The total amount received from the fertiliser tax tags last year was $202,741.31. This money goes to Clemson college. There is a tax of 25 cents on every ton of fertiliser sold in the State.
